Slow Cooker Nando's Peri-Peri Chicken Pasta

The recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken breasts cooked in a slow cooker with dried oregano, black pepper, a bay leaf, Nando's peri-peri sauce, chicken broth, and full-fat cream cheese. Cooking on low for four hours ensures the chicken is fully cooked and tender enough to shred. The cream cheese melts into the sauce, smoothing out the peri-peri sauce and creating a creamy texture. After shredding the chicken, the sauce is stirred to combine evenly.

Instead of mixing the pasta directly into the sauce, the cooked pasta is served separately in individual bowls with the chicken and sauce spooned on top. This method helps the pasta avoid becoming overly saturated and maintains its texture. Garnishing with grated Parmesan cheese adds a savory finish. The dish delivers spicy, creamy chicken notes paired with al dente pasta for a satisfying dinner.
